Big shout out to the Gameboy Player add-on for the GameCube, and the equally brilliant Game Boy Interface which vastly improves the video quality.
WarioLand 4 on the TV always felt special ヾ(＾-＾)ノ
Oh absolutely! That's the killer app for the Gameboy Player IMHO. Properly felt like a return to the SNES days of 2D platforming, but with improved tech and quality of life. Love it.
yeah, WL4 felt like it was designed more for the GBP than the actual GBA! haahaha, and i remember how excited i was when i discovered i could play it on the TV and just put it back in my GBA when I had to go somewhere. Now that's what the switch is all about, but the jankiness of the GBP just made it more special to me
It cannot be overstated just how massive of an improvement GBI is. If you're using the stock Nintendo Gameboy Player disc/software, you're playing with an enormous handicap.
Indeed. And that's not even taking account those discs are much harder to get a hold of and/or more expensive than the Gameboy Player itself!
